Actifed Cold Tablets 96s: Fast Relief for Catarrh and Cold symptoms
Actifed Cold tablets are a trusted pharmaceutical solution widely used in Nigeria for the symptomatic relief of upper respiratory tract disorders. Whether you are dealing with a common cold, hay fever, or allergic rhinitis, Actifed provides fast-acting relief to help you breathe easier. This 96-tablet pack (containing 8 strips of 12 tablets) is ideal for households or those needing a consistent supply of "catarrh medicine" during seasonal changes.
Dual-Action Formula for Effective Relief
Actifed combines two powerful active ingredients to target cold and allergy symptoms:
- Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (60mg): A potent decongestant that shrinks swollen nasal membranes, clearing blocked noses and reducing sinus pressure.
- Triprolidine Hydrochloride (2.5mg): An antihistamine that stops sneezing, runny noses, and watery eyes by blocking the body's allergic response.
In Nigeria, Actifed is often the go-to "drug for catarrh" because it addresses both the blockage and the drip simultaneously.
Dosage and Usage
For the best results, follow these dosage guidelines:
- Adults and children over 12 years: Take one tablet every 4 to 6 hours.
- Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 4 tablets in any 24-hour period.
- Swallow the tablet whole with water. It can be taken with or without food.
